"He's outlived his usefulness anyway... Being a snitch just adds to the penalty he receives, don't you think?" Johnny questioned nobody in particular as he stood from his throne, typically located in the middle of the town where everyone could see him. It wasn't really a seat of power - it was like his execution stand for those he deemed unworthy of serving the cause any longer... Whatever that cause was. Oh yes, to get rich on other people's blood, sweat and tears! "I'm not going to kill him. That [I]was[/I] the penalty for becoming a weakling and grovelling about his pathetic hardships, but he snitched - and now it's more than likely somebody knows about our operation here. Now, what's worse than death...? Anyone care to enlighten the poor fellow?" he asked, as he looked around at his subordinates with a sinister grin. What was worse than death? They all knew what was coming. The poor man didn't know, but the fear was plastered all over his face, he shook as Johnny stood before him. The Darkness Master's arms extended outwards as he prepared to cast a spell, with a rising pressure that felt absolutely sickening.

"You won't be dead, but eternally trapped among the other pained souls. You'll try to claw your way out of the blackness, but you will never make it. Your soul belongs to me, worm. Genesis Zero...!" Suddenly, the darkness magic erupted from Johnny's arms and shot forward, seemingly eating the townsman alive, not even a scream as the blob of dark energy engulfed him and disappeared again at the flick of Johnny's fingers.

"That never gets old. Anyway, I'd like everyone to be on their guard. Prepare for our guests' arrival, we should accommodate these 'official Mages' properly when they show up." Johnny said as he fell back into his throne, licking his fingers as if he'd eaten the man's soul himself.

Mike and Kaze left without hesitation.
"I've never greeted anyone so violently~!" Kaze laughed as if she had no part in this whole evil-dark-guild-terrorizing-mischief. "This is going to be fun!"
Mike rolled his eyes boredly at the woman as they strolled through the deserted streets. He just wanted something to attack. The guy hadn't killed anything in at least a week now...! Guild Mages might even be a challenge, he thought to himself.

Blaze shivered after she hopped off the train, landing behind Iggy and Torie. The kid felt something far away, but damned if she knew what it was... It didn't feel good though, that was for sure. Shoving her hands in her jacket pockets, she began walking with the two, eyes narrowed as she watched their surroundings for movement.

"...So wait, if it's a dark guild, that means there should be more than three of them right? And there's only three of us- Ah, whatever! I'm sure we can handle this," Blaze resolved cheerfully, almost beginning to skip.
